-------------------------------------------------------------
@Emilian: Oddly this is the case for the core IDE for the 9.0 development
build, but not for some plugins. For example the C/C++ plugin (I get it through
the standard C/C++ bundle) has a fully fledged JavaHelp system with a lot of
internal pages shown in the Help panel.

> javahelp seems to be under GNU GPL 2 with CPE and we do use it:
> http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/file/5fd841261bf9/javahelp/external/jhall-2.0_05-license.txt
> We should either find a drop-in replacement for javahelp or move the help
> online and open a system browser for each help button click.
> This will break the stable help API used by plugins and Platform apps so we
> must provide some migration path for those too.
> An idea would be to allow Platform apps to include javahelp themselves
> instead of relying on it being present in the Platform.
